Since 2007, I have specialized in Neuro-Endocrinology - which is essentially addressing the way the brain is communicating out to the endocrine (hormone) glands. This involves balancing brain neurotransmitters for changes in mood (depression, anxiety, irritability), sleep, pain, cravings and digestion as well as any changes in thyroid, adrenal, blood sugar and female/male hormonal status. If you feel like you are stuck in survival mode, wired and tired, your sleep has suffered and your hormones feel off-balanced -you are a great fit for my practice!

Our mission is to help you reach your optimal health goals through individualized care. We recognize that each person living with the same condition do not necessarily have the same experiences and daily challenges. We respect your unique journey in life and therefore we address the underlying causes while treating the whole person on the mental, emotional, and physical levels.

We work with patients looking to incorporate natural therapies to help the body get relief from chronic issues like cancer, fatigue, or even general health issues. Whether there is a need for us to integrate with their existing practitioner or want a full natural approach, we are here to help. Remember, the patient's age is not an issue.

As a naturopathic doctor I focus on restoring health and preventing disease. I will work to determine the root cause of your health issues and partner with you to develop an individualized program. This will emphasize using the safest, most effective, natural medicines available. I believe strongly in "practicing what I preach" and therefore I live my life with integrity and the same level of commitment to diet, health, exercise and wellness that I ask of my patients. I will never ask you to do something that I have not tried myself or I am not currently doing.

My hope is that you will find the health solutions you are looking for. You deserve to thrive and live your best life. If you have been experiencing a health issue for quite some time and feel that things haven't changed or just need to try something different feel free to message me. My approach is to listen to your story, key in to the clues that physiology is providing, and give you a plan to restore your health. I spend time teaching you how the body repairs and how to remove the obstacles to cure. This may include adopting lifestyle changes and using natural medicine.

Naturopathic Medicine is a holistic specialty care approach to health and wellness that focuses on the interconnectedness of the body, rather than disease itself. The goal is to find out the causes of illness, and how different systems in the body affect each other. Natural therapies are used to support the body embark on it's own healing process. The bedrock of Naturopathy is the health and well being of the individual. Naturopathic Doctors choose the most appropriate type of therapy or combination of therapies to use for each patient.

I help patients get to the root of their health concerns with both a scientifically grounded and authentically holistic approach. My goal is to address the underlying causes of illness, going beyond symptom management. My patients appreciate that I take the time to listen and to get to know them.

While I see a diversity of patients, I most commonly help people with digestive issues, hormonal changes, mood and neurotransmitter imbalances, and immune problems, including autoimmunity.
